Orford Named For Eels Clash

Despite partially dislocating his left kneecap in Sunday?s loss to the Broncos, Orford was yesterday cleared of any serious damage and is hopeful of lining-up as the Storm look to extend the Eels? winless run to five matches.

Melbourne?s last trek to Parramatta was highly successful after the Storm came back from a 20-point deficit to snatch victory in the dying minutes.

Young hooker Cameron Smith has been named pending the outcome of his judiciary hearing tonight ? the 19-year will be contesting a grade one dangerous throw charge emanating from Sunday?s match against the Broncos.

If found guilty Smith will miss Saturday?s match but will be eligible to make a return for the following week?s home game against the Roosters.

David Kidwell will again hold down a starting role in the centres while Junior Langi is out with quadriceps and knee injuries.

Langi was a late withdrawal last week after he failed to overcome a quad injury suffered the in the previous week?s pre-game warm-up. The 21-year-old also suffered recurring soreness in his left knee - as a result of a pre-season medial injury - and had arthroscopic surgery before Sunday?s game to correct the problem.

He is expected the miss the next month, further adding to the Storm?s crippling injury toll.
